What guests think

Across recent reviews, Murphys Suites stands out for friendly staff and very spacious suites, while recurring drawbacks include dated decor, firm beds and pillows, and occasional maintenance or cleanliness lapses.

The location is convenient for downtown Murphys, wineries, and nearby mountain areas, and many find it quiet despite the highway. Pool, hot tub, and sauna are appreciated, though the gym is basic and the pool area is sometimes closed or opens late. Breakfast is simple—mini donuts or a frozen burrito—with complimentary coffee and soft-serve; opinions on the donuts vary. Expect an old-school stay with large suites and welcoming service.

Very friendly front desk staff. Very comfortable. Love the little details - ice cream cone offered at check-in or anytime you want! Love that donuts and OJ are delivered to your room at the time you specify. Downside: Fitness center and pool don't open until 9am. Need to open by 8am, before guests head out to their adventures.

It was a decent place, maybe overpriced a bit for the kind of suite we got. The gym was a treadmill, an elliptical and a stationary bike from the 70s all crammed in a laundry/storage room.

The king bed we had was a complete canoe bed. We had to climb out of the bed to get up and my husband and I slept in the center of the bed. Very uncomfortable. The manager told us in the morning that it was the best bed in the hotel. He was absolutely lying to us to save face.

We spent a night at Murphys Suites during our trip up to Bear Valley and the nearby snow parks with our family of four, including two young boys. Overall, it was a great stay! The hotel is a little dated, but our room was clean, and the older decor added a bit of 1980s charm. The room was extremely spacious, featuring two comfortable queen beds and a separate living area with a second TV, perfect for giving the kids their space. The staff was incredibly friendly, and check-in was a breeze. The lady at the front desk explained everything thoroughly and made us feel welcome. We also appreciated the coffee options: our room had a coffee machine, but the free coffee near the front desk was even better. One of the highlights was the complimentary homemade donuts and orange juice in the morning—a small but thoughtful touch that made our stay even better. The only downside was the price, which was higher than usual due to the long weekend demand. However, it was still reasonable given the comfort and convenience of the stay. Would consider staying here again when visiting the area!

The staff is the #1 reason to stay here. There was a big auto show in town and they were completely booked but everyone I encountered was helpful, happy and smiling. I noticed they went out of their way to greet everyone and knew many of the guests from past stays. It just really stood out to me. The rooms were large and very clean, although a little dated. I would recommend they replace the pillows or that guests bring one if they are particular like me. If you were going into town it’s a little off the Main Street but still close enough to be convenient. Lastly, I love love love that they offer complimentary soft serve and I like that they serve a local roast coffee at the front desk. I would definitely stay here again.

We have stayed here 3 times in the last year. The rooms are big and comfortable. We like the all you can eat ice cream and mini doughnuts for breakfast. The woman who checked us in was the same one that checked us in last time. Last time she was very friendly and helpful but this time not so much. She was rude and short with me at first, but got better toward the end. The hotel is pretty dated. It really needs a refresh. But it was overall clean and a good location so we probably will stay here again.

The gentleman that was not wearing a name badge upon arrival was not very friendly and acted like job was a burden. When I asked about the coffee/ice cream they had for free he acted like it was a stupid question that I was just verifying about. Then he told me options for continental breakfast in low smart sorta smart aleck voice that I repeated to make sure I was correct. He just acted like it was putting him out to have to respond. I am a nice friendly person and he was probably one of the worst I've ever been greeted if you call greeted at a hotel. Hotel inside was clean but super dated like early 1980 decor, old worn out red carpet, ugly wall paper, musty moldy smell in room and towels in room seem about that old as well. Only positive is it was clean and quite.

During checking, there is a break time at front desk when you basically have to wait until the lunch is over. If you are tired and want to get a room right away, it will make you uncomfortable. Not enough stuff to accommodate the visitors.

Although it is next to highway 4, the noise level is minimum at night. We stayed on the second floor. The staff at the front desk are helpful. All rooms face an internal corridor, rather than outside. The room is big. In addition, they offer free ice cream, small donuts and orange juice, not breakfast though. Running in early morning, I feel safe. Plan to stay next time in town.

It is right next to HWY 4 but we did not hear the noise from the road inside our room. You can walk to downtown for dining by taking the back roads, just ask the reception for a map. It is a 10 minute walk to downtown.
